Yard Clean Up Of Post Industrial Plastic Scrap

Clean Up Your Yard By Getting Rid Of Post Industrial Scrap

Post industrial scrap is the by-product of any type of manufacturing process involving the use of plastic materials and substances.  Your operation, in dealing with plastics of various types, may have one or more generators of this type of unwanted material. It could be waste material, such as cut-off plastic pieces as a particular product is finished off; it could be off-spec finished product.  Any unwanted plastics derived from your operation qualify as post industrial plastic scrap (PIS).

The good news is that your post industrial scrap heap is probably wanted, needed, or in demand, for recycling purposes.  So here are some excellent reasons why you should consider a yard or plant clean up of your unwanted plastic scrap.

Good Reasons to Remove Post Industrial Scrap From Your Yard

There are some great reasons why you should consider a cleanup of your operations’ post industrial scrap.  Here are just three:

  • You’ll be doing the right thing – the responsible thing – for the environment.  We all know how important our planet and its health is to all of us.  When you address your PIS issue, you are helping the planet.  Plus, it is great public relations your customers should know about, and will value.
  • When you lose the clutter and nuisance of your PIS, you are also freeing up space in your yard, or in your plant/warehouse. This additional square footage or cubic footage can be used in valuable ways to your operations.
  • There’s money in it!  Our recycling program not only takes care of your PIS, we pay you for it.  Much of your plastic scrap can be reused, and we are happy to pay to get yours.

Consequences of Putting Plastic Waste in Landfills

The least desirable action you can take to be rid of your PIS is to have it taken to a landfill.  Among the reasons you should avoid this option:

  • You’ll be paying to have your plastic scrap hauled away.
  • Landfills are overburdened already; there is no value to adding to the strain already on them

An Alternative to Moving Your Post Industrial Plastic Scrap

The solution is very simple:  Let us handle the entire process for you.  Rather than taking up your time and resources to address your PIS, simply contact us.  We remove your plastic scrap, and pay you for it. It’s that easy. It’s a problem solved.

We Can Use Your Plastic Scrap

The types of plastics we can take off your hands and recycle include:

You can trust us to do the right thing with your plastic scrap.  Our expertise is in making use of exactly these types of materials.  We know what we’re doing; we’ve been at it a long time.

In addition, we can also help with the removal of other types of scrap material you may have, including your broken plastic bins, totes, pallets, and trays.

Why Do We Buy It

We have been asked many times why we buy this scrap plastic material, and we’re very happy to answer that question. Firstly, we like to do our part to ensure that we are environmentally responsible and recycling is certainly an effective way for us to do this. With more awareness of the importance of preserving our environment and being conscious of it, we feel that it’s our responsibility to do what we can.

We also look at your trash as our treasure in a way. Because post industrial plastic scrap tends to be pre contaminated, it allows for high-quality plastic recycling to be possible. We see the value in recycling this plastic material

Why You Should Contact Us for Your Plastic Scrap Removal Needs

For all the above reasons, we hope we’ve clearly explained why it’s a good idea, in many ways, to have your scrap plastics looked after by our recycling program.  Best of all, doing the environmentally responsible thing with your plastics will cost you nothing – quite the opposite – we pay top dollar for your PIS.

The Benefits of Using Nestable Plastic Pallets

Pallets, Plastic

 

Nestable Pallets

Are you looking for better, cost-effective, space-saving solutions for your business? Have you considered using nestable plastic pallets? This revolutionary system is gaining in popularity for a number of reasons, and here’s why. Here, we break down the benefits of using these nestable containers and provide some information for you to be able to make well-informed decisions for your business.

Nestable Plastic Pallets: What Are They?

A nestable pallet is an efficient storage system where a container nests or sits one inside another. This type of nestable system takes up much less storage space for pallet storage and transit. With a 4:1 nest ratio, a set of nestable plastic pallets can save up to four times the space needed by stackable plastic or wood pallets.

Why Consider Nestable Containers?

In addition to offering durability and safety, nestable plastic pallets offer smart space-saving pallet storage solutions along with durability and safety. This system lets you stack more pallets at a safe height without compromising the structural integrity.

Save precious floor space and keep your items safely stored. In addition to being space and cost-effective, nestable containers are recyclable, durable, weather-resistant, impact-resistant and even customizable.

 

Plastic Vs. Wood Pallets

If you’re planning on shipping goods to another country, plastic pallets offer many benefits in addition to allowing you to save on freight costs due to their lighter weight and density. Wood pallets and packaging made from unmarked woods have been known to get retained and possibly destroyed or re-exported. Play it safe and use plastic.

Plastic pallets and nestable containers offer your business a great alternative to wood pallets. They’re lighter in weight and density, they are extremely durable and their strength allows for a long life span, making them extremely cost-effective and environmentally friendly. They are much easier to transport, move and handle than wood. Without nails or broken boards, the risk of injury is a non factor, making them a favorable choice amongst both employers and employees.

Great For Sensitive Materials

If you’ve got sensitive materials that you’re looking to store or ship, then nestable plastic containers should definitely be in the running, as one of your top choices. The automotive industry, for example, requires many different types of parts that can’t risk being damaged. Similarly, the agricultural industry requires that their products stay fresh, clean and safe while stored and during transport.

Our nestable pallets are made from top-quality materials, ensuring that they are able to withstand outside temperatures and elements including moisture. Moreover, our containers are resistant to acid and corrosion, making them a top choice in both the automotive and agricultural industries.

Nestable industrial plastic containers can be sanitized and are easily washable to ensure that quality assurance practices are properly maintained at all times.

Stackable Pallets

Still Need More?

If we haven’t provided you with enough information, or you’re looking for more information on specifications regarding our nestable pallet options, contact us and we would be happy to help. If you have very specific needs, we can customize any nestable plastic pallet to fit your needs. We work with you to get you the perfect shape and size.

We also have a huge selection of stackable pallets and rackable pallets to ensure that your business needs are always met. The choices don’t end there. Ask us about our belt options that come with many of our nestable products to help maximize your stackability choices. We also have lids to accompany our nestable plastic containers.

Lots of Options: New or Used, Buy or Rent Plastic Containers

Given how strong and long-lasting these containers are, used plastic containers are always available for purchase in a variety of sizes and colors.

These containers are built tough and built to last through demanding and trying conditions.

With all the varieties of containers out there, how can you possibly narrow down what you want and what works best for your business needs?

The world of plastic containers can be an overwhelming one, with so many choices.  Plastic containers may not be your passion, but they’re certainly one of ours.

We take our job seriously and we love what we do.  Bringing the latest technology, style, design and materials to all our containers is standard practice for us.

When you purchase a container from us, whether you’re buying new or used or leasing, we guarantee that you’re getting the best there is.  Let’s take a look at the difference between new and used.

Here’s a little more insight into the world of plastic containers.

New And Used Bulk Plastic Containers

Just like when you’re looking to buy a car, you may consider buying a used one.  Why? Perhaps the new model is out of your price range; perhaps the used model is more obtainable for your budgetary needs.

You’re still able to buy a great car, but you may be able to benefit from something that someone else no longer needs. Well, the same holds true with containers (get the clever pun?)

One of our featured plastic containers is our prized 45 x48 x34, available in both new and used.  This is a gem!  This container can hold between 1500 and 2000 lbs, and the container itself only weighs in between 118-145lbs, making it very lightweight.

Not only is this container stackable, making it a favorable storage option, but it’s also collapsable, which allows you to maximize your space.  And yes, we have thought of everything.

This container also offers two fold-down doors with spring-loaded latches, making it easily accessible for 4 way forklifts.

The Strength Is In The Plastic

If you’re looking at our used or pre-loved containers, rest assured that we only sell those in top-notch condition.  Just like our new containers, they are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which is commonly used for building materials based on its strength and durability.

HDPE has been shown to be stronger than most plastics, as well as stronger than wood and even some metals.  This isn’t your kids’ lego plastic! Its strength coupled with its lightweight properties, make this material very desirable in the container world. It’s no wonder that this is one of our most popular containers.

HDPE also helps make these containers great due to its resistance to chemicals and weather conditions.  When shipping products in these containers, you can ship with the comfort of knowing that your goods are being safely transported and will arrive intact.

These containers are also eco-conscious since HDPE gives off no harmful fumes and is much more environmentally friendly to manufacture, and they’re built to not only last but to withstand almost anything you throw at it.

Uses for These Bulk Plastic Containers

Not only are these containers a popular choice based on their durability, but their versatility too.  These containers are used in the agricultural industry to keep perishable items fresh and safe during transport.

The automotive industry relies on these containers to store and ship a variety of car parts.  Whether you’ve got delicate perishables or clunky car parts, these plastic containers get the job done!

Our Leasing Program

If we’ve managed to get you even a little excited about our bulk plastic containers but purchasing them just isn’t in the cards for your business right now, or you simply need them temporarily. No problem!  Leasing bulk containers can be a very affordable solution.  We have developed a very user-friendly leasing program for both long and/or short-term leases.  We offer a 90-day term and after that, you only pay for the days that you keep the containers.  It’s that simple. No need to clean them; we pick them up as is. We can work with you to come up with a workable payment plan to fit your needs and your budget.

Choose your color, shape, size and even include your logo.  If creating your own container is the route you would like to take, we’re happy to work with you.

Custom Containers, 3 Reasons Why Your Company Needs Them

Custom Metal Containers

Custom containers are sometimes the solution when you can’t find what you need.

Companies reach to us to create custom-molded plastic or metal containers with specific measurements, colors, or additional features that you would not be able to find elsewhere.

Containers may not be something that you put much thought into when you think about the day-to-day logistics of your business, but don’t discount their importance or significance.

The wrong containers hold the potential to cause you many unnecessary headaches and challenges. When you’ve got the proper containers, it helps your business run smoothly in ways that you can’t appreciate. Here’s a list of 3 reasons why we feel that custom containers can be an asset to your company.

Custom Containers Made in the Perfect Size For Your Needs

Maximizing your storage capacity and capabilities is an integral part of running a successful and efficient operation. Fitting, stacking and organizing storage containers can feel a little like a video game of “fill in the missing spots”. Customized storage containers give you the option to leave no wasted space. Leave no space unused! Containers can be configured to any size so that they can fit into any space, thereby increasing your capacity.

Custom Containers With Transportability In Mind

Customized doesn’t mean compromised. Although you’re able to customize the size, the transportability of your containers and goods will never be compromised. Your materials will arrive intact.

Logistics can often create many unpredictable bumps and unforeseen challenges. Take the worry of how your goods will arrive, out of the equation by using custom containers.

Depending on your needs, you may choose to either use plastic containers or metal containers.

Let’s examine both metal and plastic containers:

Custom Metal Containers

It may be advantageous for your business to create metal containers with inside dividers, therefore creating smaller compartments within the larger container.

By designing custom metal containers, you’re able to achieve exactly what you want and serve all your needs. The metal frame is designed for stackability without concern for bending or expansion over time.

Read more about stackable containers.

Metal containers’ strength and durability make them long-lasting. The material by nature, allows the containers to withstand much abuse and heavy-duty use. Because these containers can be prone to rust after much use, you may want to consider plastic containers as an option.

They choose these sturdy, reliable bulk storage containers because of their many practical uses and benefits. If you haven’t purchased collapsible containers to move your goods, there are many advantages you should know about.

Types Of Collapsible Containers

Green Processing Company has a large inventory of metal and plastic collapsible containers that includes:

Bulk Collapsible Containers Save Space When Not in Use

That’s right. They’re collapsible. The four sides of the bulk containers collapse inwardly which makes them easy to stack and store in your facility.

Bulk collapsible containers will satisfy your shipping and storage needs. Instead of needing different containers to store and ship, this product does both. You no longer need to invest in additional infrastructure with an advanced product like ours significantly reducing your shipping costs.

Collapsible plastic containers are stackable and do not sacrifice safety. They are designed for safety and protection with rigid fixed polyethylene plastic walls and strong latches so your contents will be safe while traveling. You can ship more, knowing your goods are always safe.

Bulk Collapsible Metal Containers

Collapsible Containers Can Be Reused

Wood and corrugated cardboard have a short lifespan. They get damaged over time and can’t be used. But not collapsible containers. They can be reused again and again. Green Processing plastic containers are rugged and built for the punishment of everyday use, giving the protection you want against possible damage during shipping.

Your Competition is Using Collapsible Containers

  • Storage, warehousing
  • Waste management

Plastic Has a Long Life Over Wood

When goods aren’t compatible with traditional wood pallets because they’re too bulky, companies choose collapsible plastic containers as the perfect packaging solution. They’re more practical for non-traditional, non-standard sized items, safer and more secure than a pallet.

Companies also like them because the bottom of the containers is pallet-sized, so easily adapt to existing manufacturing processes and fit on warehouse forklifts.

Companies with storage issues take advantage of collapsible storage containers regardless of their operations and capacity. A business with significant storage and shipping activity wants the cost-effective solutions offered by collapsible bulk plastic containers.

Green Processing Company offers collapsible bulk containers for every need, protecting your products during picking, assembly, processing, storage, fixed wall, and distribution applications.

Collapsible containers are space-saving containers perfectly engineered for durability and longevity. Made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), they’re a durable material that will protect your product throughout the duration of the container’s life.

They fold easily for storage and their doors are made with articulating hinges allowing an open door to lay flat against the side of the container for tighter, safer storage.

If you’re using storage products that can’t handle bulky products or weight, you’re risking the safety and adversely affecting your efficiency. Collapsible plastic containers allow products to be stored for easy pick-up and because they’re stackable and collapse flat within seconds. They’re a unique storage option for manufacturing or distribution. Companies that use these containers reduce waste, increase the speed of selection and delivery times, and provide a cleaner environment for employees and customers.
